Scattered Showers Likely Friday - Cooler Start to the Weekend

A weak cold front will pass through southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois Thursday evening bringing with it an increase in cloud cover and small chance for a passing shower.  Once the front passes skies will remain mostly clear through Friday morning.


Friday afternoon another cold front will move down from the north, but this one will have a little more strength to it.  Skies will start clear Friday morning with cloud cover once again increasing during the early afternoon.  As the cold front and low pressure system approach from the North scattered showers will develop during the afternoon and early evening.  The showers will be light, but widespread throughout the Stateline mostly between 1pm and 6pm.  There is even a little instability that develops during the afternoon which could prompt an isolated thunderstorm or two.

The cold front and low pressure system pass after 7pm bringing drier air down from the north and keeping skies mostly clear through Saturday.  Temperatures, however, will be cooler on Saturday with overnight lows falling into the mid 30's Friday night and then low 30's by Sunday morning.


Saturday will be a cooler afternoon with highs most likely ranging from the upper 50's to low 60's.  High pressure moves closer to us by Sunday which will help warm temperatures back up into the mid 60's during the afternoon.
